               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
                     CHAPTER 39--ARMS EXPORT CONTROL
 
   SUBCHAPTER I--FOREIGN AND NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY OBJECTIVES AND 
                               RESTRAINTS
 
Sec. 2754. Purposes for which military sales or leases by the 
        United States are authorized; report to Congress
        
    Defense articles and defense services shall be sold or leased by the 
United States Government under this chapter to friendly countries solely 
for internal security, for legitimate self-defense, to permit the 
recipient country to participate in regional or collective arrangements 
or measures consistent with the Charter of the United Nations, or 
otherwise to permit the recipient country to participate in collective 
measures requested by the United Nations for the purpose of maintaining 
or restoring international peace and security, or for the purpose of 
enabling foreign military forces in less developed friendly countries to 
construct public works and to engage in other activities helpful to the 
economic and social development of such friendly countries. It is the 
sense of the Congress that such foreign military forces should not be 
maintained or established solely for civic action activities and that 
such civic action activities not significantly detract from the 
capability of the military forces to perform their military missions and 
be coordinated with and form part of the total economic and social 
development effort: Provided, That none of the funds contained in this 
authorization shall be used to guarantee, or extend credit, or 
participate in an extension of credit in connection with any sale of 
sophisticated weapons systems, such as missile systems and jet aircraft 
for military purposes, to any underdeveloped country other than Greece, 
Turkey, Iran, Israel, the Republic of China, the Philippines and Korea 
unless the President determines that such financing is important to the 
national security of the United States and reports within thirty days 
each such determination to the Congress.
